So pre-transfer window we weren't in a great place. Our form was up and down with some suggesting that we needed major changes. Fast forward to the end of the window our form is now very good, we have brought in 1 player who by all metrics should be a good player for us, a couple of our...

I think the more relevant question is whether we need to sell or not. Lets assume the club has been able to fund the signing of Grimes without the need for anyone being sold then I think it's worth keeping BTA. If the signing of Grimes means someone need to go out then based on the ones there...

Based on that highlight reel he's got a cracking left foot. Bassette, Simms the wingers and MVE should be licking their lips if they are watching that.

It will be interesting to see what sort of fee it's for. According to Transfermarkt.co.uk Grimes value is around €6 million which works out just over £5 million. To give some perspective the same site has Rudoni at the same €6 million with Sheaf and Eccles at €7 million each. Grimes is rumored...

Several goals this year have come from Milan being up field, us losing the ball (not Milan himself I stress) and him not being able to get back. That being said there have also been plenty of times that he has worked his socks off to get back and either made a good challenge or delayed the...

In terms of his effort and attitude he is good as a captain, but he is not vocal enough. A captain needs to be the one organising the team, speaking to the ref and pointing things out, not standing there mute.

Other clubs can set an expectation that their players will get game time when they send them out on loan. Why don't we?

I'm sure I have seen somewhere that we are / have recalled Jack Burroughs and Ryan Howley from their loans up in Scotland. Do we think this will be for Lampard to assess them for himself and support the first team squad? If he's keeping them at Ryton could this be in place of actual signings?

I'm not saying Robins didn't sign anyone. More suggesting that others may have also brought in people that weren't on his list so to speak.

I've wondered for a while now how many of the incoming players over the past few years were actually targets of MR. Players that he identified as fitting his system and that he wanted to recruit. Obviously Ady had the Chelsea link so Collins, JDS, Palmer and Dabo were known quantities to Ady...

He's training with Burnley trying to earn a contract but nothing signed yet according to the news article I read.

He's training with Burnley at the moment, would he be worth signing on a free? I know he's nearly 33 but we have been crying out for a bit more creativity and experience.

Is it worth the reported £500k loss?

As a metric to look at more than just the end score it can be helpful when judging a teams overall performance. However the only one that actually matters is the points column in the league table. Having fabulous xG and xGA shows that we aren't a million miles away from getting decent results...

There is a guy who sits near me at the CBS and likes spouting that he's in the know about X,Y and Z. To be fair to him the majority of what he says turns out to be true, Palmer not being offered a new contract and O'hare going being just 2 of the nuggets that he's shared on a match day. The very...

I'll be honest and say that out of the 4 CB we currently have i'd rate them in the following order: 1 Thomas 2 Kitching 3 Lati 4 Binks Kitching has certainly got a howler in the locker ready to bust out, generally in the form of a red card but I just think he offers a bit more than either...

Personally I think Frank should be having an honest conversation with Sheaf about his intentions. If his intention is to leave then hand it over to Doug to get the best deal possible, if there is an appealing deal to be had now and we can bring in a replacement then do it this month. If not...

So Blackburn are interested in signing Liam Kitching on loan, thoughts? If it's true that we are trying to sign another CB on loan ourselves then I think it would be a good move. It gets his wages off the bill and potentially gives him some game time.

How do we stop Keepers pretending to be injured and halting the game so their outfield can all go over to the bench for instructions? We've had it happen to us at least 3 or 4 times this season that I can remember. Surely a change in the rules needs to be put in place. Something like in that...

Every Manager / Head Coach will undoubtably have their favorites. Maybe it's a player that the boss just has a higher level of trust in. So, who are Frank's favorites so far (and yes I appreciate we are only a few games into his tenure). Norman Bassette - Based on what he says in his interviews...
